Changing Land Use / Land Cover Analysis in Contai (Kanthi) Coastal Belt, West Bengal and Odisha
International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) ISSN: 2319-7064 ResearchGate Impact Factor (2018): 0.28 | SJIF (2018): 7.426 Changing Land Use / Land Cover Analysis in Contai (Kanthi) Coastal Belt, West Bengal and Odisha Swapan Kumar Tala M. A., M. Phil., UGC NET Abstract: Land is the basic resource for human life on which many of other human activities are based.Land use and land cover change is always caused by multiple interacting factors. The mix of driving forces of land use/land cover change varies in time and space and according to specific physical and human environment conditions. The rapid increasing population and socio-economic needs crate pressure on land use/land cover, and this pressure results in unplanned and uncontrolled growth. Land use/land cover changes are usually caused by growth of rural and urban land uses, mismanagement of agriculture, forest and water bodies, which lead to several environmental problems. Present study is an attempt to explore the salient features of spatio-temporal changes in the complex land use system of Contai coastal belt from a geographical perspective. The study is based mainly of secondary sources. General land use characteristics of the area for two different periods, namely 2000 and 2015 are taken into consideration for present study. Water body, vegetation and fallow land area have been decreased due to population growth, expansion of agricultural field, increasing of settlement area etc. Keywords: Land, Land use, Land cover, Land use and land cover change, Degradation 1. Introduction Information System technologies are being applied to carry out change detection studies for land use/ land cover Land is a product of nature and a three dimensional dynamic analysis especially in coastal regions where there are other body. -
Transport in India Transport in the Republic of India Is an Important
Transport in India Transport in the Republic of India is an important part of the nation's economy. Since theeconomic liberalisation of the 1990s, development of infrastructure within the country has progressed at a rapid pace, and today there is a wide variety of modes of transport by land, water and air. However, the relatively low GDP of India has meant that access to these modes of transport has not been uniform. Motor vehicle penetration is low with only 13 million cars on thenation's roads.[1] In addition, only around 10% of Indian households own a motorcycle.[2] At the same time, the Automobile industry in India is rapidly growing with an annual production of over 2.6 million vehicles[3] and vehicle volume is expected to rise greatly in the future.[4] In the interim however, public transport still remains the primary mode of transport for most of the population, and India's public transport systems are among the most heavily utilised in the world.[5] India's rail network is the longest and fourth most heavily used system in the world transporting over 6 billionpassengers and over 350 million tons of freight annually.[5][6] Despite ongoing improvements in the sector, several aspects of the transport sector are still riddled with problems due to outdated infrastructure, lack of investment, corruption and a burgeoning population. The demand for transport infrastructure and services has been rising by around 10% a year[5] with the current infrastructure being unable to meet these growing demands. According to recent estimates by Goldman Sachs, India will need to spend $1.7 Trillion USD on infrastructure projects over the next decade to boost economic growth of which $500 Billion USD is budgeted to be spent during the eleventh Five-year plan. -
Marine Invertebrates of Digha Coast and Some Recomendations on Their Conservation
Rec. zool. Surv. India: 101 (Part 3-4) : 1-23, 2003 MARINE INVERTEBRATES OF DIGHA COAST AND SOME RECOMENDATIONS ON THEIR CONSERVATION RAMAKRISHNA, J A YDIP SARKAR * AND SHANKAR T ALUKDAR Zoological Sruvey of India, M-Block, New Alipore, Kolkata 700 053, India INTRODUCTION The ftrst study on marine fauna of Digha coast is known from the work of Bharati Goswami during 1975-87 (Bharati Goswami, 1992). Other workers, viz., Bairagi, Bhadra, Mukhopadhyaya, Misra, Reddy (1995); Subba Rao et. al., (1992, 1995); Talukdar et. al., (1996); Ramakrishna and Sarkar (1998); Sastry (1995, 1998) and Mitra et. al., (2002) also reported some marine invertebrates under different faunal groups from Hughly-Matla estuary, including Digha. But uptil recently there is no comprehensive updated list of marine invertebrates from Digha coast and adjoining areas. With the establishment of Marine Aquarium and Research Centre, Digha in the year 1990, opportunity was launched for undertaking an extensive exploration and studying seasonal changes that have been taken place on the coastal biodiversity in this area. Accordingly, the authors of the present work, started collecting the detailed faunal infonnation from Digha and adjoining coastal areas [Fig. 2 and 3]. During the study, it has transpired that exploitation of coastal resources has very abruptly increased in recent years. Several new fishing gears are employed, a number of new marine organisms are recognized as commercial fish and non fish resources. Also, the number of trawlers has increased to a large extent. The present paper based on the observations from 1990 to 2000 (including the current records upto January, 2002), is an uptodate database for the available species of marine invertebrates from this area. -

H A L D I A Haldia Dock Complex was commissioned as a Bulk Handling Dock System of KoPT in 1977 on the confluence of two rivers Hooghly and Haldi. It is an impounded dock system operated by a single Lock Entrance of 330 metres length and 39 metres in width. In the year 2003-2004, Haldia Dock Complex has handled 32.5 million metric ton of sea-borne Cargo out of which 14.05 moved by Rail. In the year 2004-05 (April to October) Haldia Dock Complex has handled 20.4 million metric ton out of which the rail share is 8.23 million metric ton. Haldia Port now holds 4th position as far as volume of traffic handled is concerned, amongst major Ports of India. Connectivity : Direct EMU service from Howrah (H 601) and Suburban EMU service and Mail Express (7045, 8030) upto Mecheda and then by road to Haldia via Tamluk. T A M L U K Ancient Tamralipta & Goddess Bargabhima Temple : The principal object of interest in the Tamluk town is the temple of Bargabhima, which represents ‘Tara’, one form of Sakti …… situated on the banks of the Rupnarayan river. Some say that it was built by Biswakarma, the engineer of the gods. The temple is on a raised platform accessible by a flight of stairs consisting of 22 steps. The skill and ingenuity displayed in the construction of the temple still attracts admiration. The idol is formed from a single block of stone with the hands and feet attached to it. The goddess is represented standing on the body of Siva, and has four hands. -

Investigating Groundwater Condition and Seawater Intrusion Status in Coastal Aquifer Systems of Eastern India
water Article Investigating Groundwater Condition and Seawater Intrusion Status in Coastal Aquifer Systems of Eastern India Subrata Halder 1,* , Lingaraj Dhal 2 and Madan K. Jha 1 1 AgFE Department, IIT Kharagpur, Kharagpur 721302, India; [email protected] 2 WRD&M Department, IIT Roorkee, Roorkee 247667, India; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +91-943-259-4699 Abstract: Providing sustainable water supply for domestic needs and irrigated agriculture is one of the most significant challenges for the current century. This challenge is more daunting in coastal regions. Groundwater plays a pivotal role in addressing this challenge and hence, it is under growing stress in several parts of the world. To address this challenge, a proper understanding of groundwater characteristics in an area is essential. In this study, spatio-temporal analyses of pre-monsoon and post-monsoon groundwater levels of two coastal aquifer systems (upper leaky confined and underlying confined) were carried out in Purba Medinipur District, West Bengal, India. Trend analysis of seasonal groundwater levels of the two aquifers systems was also performed using Mann-Kendall test, Linear Regression test, and Innovative Trend test. Finally, the status of seawater intrusion in the two aquifers was evaluated using available groundwater-quality data of Chloride (Cl−) and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). Considerable spatial and temporal variability was found in the seasonal groundwater levels of the two aquifers. Further, decreasing trends were spotted in the pre-monsoon and post-monsoon groundwater-level time series of the leaky confined and confined aquifers, except pre-monsoon groundwater levels in Contai-I and Deshpran blocks, and the post- Citation: Halder, S.; Dhal, L.; Jha, monsoon groundwater level in Ramnagar-I block for the leaky confined aquifer.
